any servo will work from 4.8 volts up to 7 volts,(apart from a ko fet servo) most only run at receiver voltage any way which isn't 7.2 or 7.4.

thats just to cut the voltage back, when your using big 1/8th battery's,the guy just has concerns as the life battery's are lower voltage than are lipos, nps at all plug in and go don't worry,

I don't think you will have a problem, the voltage drops in the cabling and connectors will lower the voltage to the servo when it is drawing current.

The limiting factor is the power in the servo heating it up, I hope that makes sense

If you measure the voltage at the receiver when operating the servos you will find out it can drop down by over 1V.
